But Sullinger disputed the perception that Golden is history when I asked him whether he would work on persuading Golden to re-commit when they?re together the next few weeks.

?He wants to be a Buckeye. It?s obvious. But he did what he had to do,? Sullinger said. He said Golden re-opened his recruiting ?just to make sure Ohio State was the place.?

Time will tell. Golden has 15 months, until November 2009, before he can sign a binding national letter of intent with a school, and a bunch -- mostly in the Southeast -- are after him.
